frozen ingot
#

particularly with those m chipsets

#

oh ios has plenty of annoyances too

astral haven
#

yea basically everyone standardized on prores as the correct recording format

#

and apple built hardware prores accelerators into every m# chips

tacit heron
#

anyone here got a spotify car thing for their setup ?

frozen ingot
#

in terms of overall usage I can't really pick a winner between the two, there's stuff I like and miss about both platforms

astral haven
#

lemme introduce you to blackmagic design
davinci resolve is your friend

frozen ingot
#

and stuff that annoys me

astral haven
#

doesnt perform better than davinci on nvidia hardware

#

unless you are using prores on a m# chip with the prores accelerator

frozen ingot
#

apples obsession to make everything proprietary is something I'm rather fed up with these days

astral haven
#

^^

#

the thing i think everyone misses about the m# chips is they are slow at anything that doesnt have a dedicated accelerator

#

unless you drop out of the accelerators

#

if you are shooting braw, redcode or even h26510b, the m1 at least chugs hardcore

#

my camera shoots video faster than the ssd controller of the base m1 supports sustained writing

#

and it doesnt even shoot raw

#

my 1060 laptop can render my friends raw footage faster than his m2 mac mini can

frozen ingot
#

been on ios for my daily driver since 2017 or so but considering a switch once I finally retire my current phone

astral haven
#

and it can preview the video in realtime where the m2 can only do that in proxy

#

and this part is super insanely not true unless you are looking at overclocked desktops using intel cpus

frozen ingot
#

as much as I can get along well with android as an OS I really loathe a lot of the google services and logging bs baked into most of the commercial builds

astral haven
#

starting with some real basics
apple laptop gpus gets slaughtered in rendering by the 3060

#

same render, metal vs optix is just a bloodbath
for the same power usage, nvidia takes half the total render time

#

in gaming its kinda just sad

#

only time apple is at the top of the gaming charts is when nvidia isnt on it ๐Ÿคฃ

jade lintel
#

watts per frame gotta be better, using 30 watts for 20 frames vs 400 watts for 80 frames lol

#

give me efficiency or give me death!

astral haven
#

and 120 watts for 200

#

the 4090 mobile is 80% the performance of the 4090 desktop when it uses 150 watts

jade lintel
#

ada is shit expensive but its efficient

astral haven
#

and its 50% the performance for 100 watts (which is about the power usage of the m2 max gpu

#

as long as you pair it with a cpu on the same performance scale as the m#, aka intel u or anything ryzen post 4000 series, you are looking at far over double the performance for the same power usage

#

and thats in native metal games

#

in translation layer games your power goes up on the apple and the performance goes down

#

and if you want real watts per frame, get an amd apu and run holoiso

#

the 7040hs is solidly competitive in games with the 16 core m1 pro for 19 watts instead of 65

astral haven
#

also we were talking about ampere because ada is in a different league and was released later

#

lets compare vs amd as well because amd makes socs under 100w, where nvidias smallest one is over 600w nowdays and cant even run games
when you compare raw rendering power the apple looks great!!!

#

but then oops

#

oooh thats a good result (the best result for mac gaming)
but then you realize its a $800 computer at 19 watts vs a $3200 computer at 80 watts

#

lets do some math here
19 watts at 47 fps
vs 80 watts at 83 fps
๐Ÿค”

jade lintel
astral haven
#

yup

#

apple is not ahead in terms of gpu

#

they are ahead in terms of on die accelerator

#

they have dedicated super efficient hardware for video editing prores

#

that hardware is on par with 100 watts of nvidia for rendering prores and it consumes 3-5 watts

#

but as soon as you want to edit braw that silicon cant help you and its gg

#

and if you want to game? come on apple is not even trying

obtuse yacht
#

Is a ryzen 7700x3d and a 4070 ti a good pairing?

#

Iโ€™m trying to build a new pc for myself but i want it to be a no compromise for around 2000 dollars or so.

jade lintel
obtuse yacht
#

7800x3d oops

jade lintel
#

only heard 7600, 7800, 7950 getting 3dvc

#

oh

obtuse yacht
#

iโ€™m trying to determine if i should go all AMD or something because im gonna be doing gaming and some streaming as well

astral haven
#

if you are streaming, skip radeon

obtuse yacht
#

gotcha gotcha

astral haven
#

but really intel isnt an option either way unless your target is under 1000 or a second pc

#

either way being cpu or gpu

obtuse yacht
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ AMD has gotten so good since the last time i bought parts for a pc so itโ€™s hard to pick and choose nowadays especially cause i want this pc to last longer than the i have one currently

astral haven
#

yea you could make an argument for a 6800xt or a 6900xt at that price tho

#

if you werent streaming

obtuse yacht
#

that makes sense

#

i definitely want to utilize my gpu encoder tho

brazen dagger
#

nvidias just the way to go for recording and streaming cuz of encoders

astral haven
#

just streaming

obtuse yacht
#

gotcha gotcha

astral haven
#

recording doesnt matter

#

nvidia has a better 1 click recorder but if you have 30 seconds you can get the same quality on amd

obtuse yacht
#

is a 4070 ti a good gpu tho?

astral haven
#

its a "good" gpu

brazen dagger
#

4000 gen in general is pretty mid

astral haven
#

its expensive for the performance

obtuse yacht
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ yeah of course it is but i just meant like for future proofing for now

#

and something i wonโ€™t regret thatโ€™s all

astral haven
#

no such thing

#

if you want to actually future proof
get a $1000 pc now, and then a $1000 pc when your current $1000 pc stops working

#

then you sell the first one for $400, and you end up having paid $1600 rather than $2000 and your second $1000 pc will be far faster than whatever you can buy now for $2000

obtuse yacht
#

you sound like a nvidia marketing genius

astral haven
#

nvidia doesnt sell any new gpus that fit in a $1000 budget ๐Ÿคฃ

obtuse yacht
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

astral haven
#

well maybe a 4060 but ๐Ÿ–• that

brazen dagger
#

4060 makes me gag

obtuse yacht
#

10 series was the golden age

brazen dagger
#

1080ti was fire

astral haven
#

actually heres the crazy part

#

900 was better

obtuse yacht
#

1060 was going strong

#

oh yeah maxwell was revolutionary

frozen ingot
#

jensen and cook probably meet in the park on sundays to throw rocks at poor people

astral haven
#

for $300 you could get the 970 which actually outperformed the 980 for the price even despite 3.5gb

obtuse yacht
#

i remember that controversy๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

astral haven
#

pascal was great but you couldnt get 95% of the flagship for half the price (always ignoring titans)

#

the 1080ti was a great card, but it was $700 and not double the performance of the 970 which again you could get for $300!!!

#

actually it was near double the perf

#

ok yea the 1080ti at 700 was actually fantastic

#

but 700 is a large chunk of change

brazen dagger
#

until you get to todays cards lol

astral haven
#

heres the crazy part about todays cards

#

the value is actually not bad if you look at fps at normal resolution per dollar in modern games compared to 10 series and before

#

but

#

you are looking at buying a card with a 70 name rather than a 80ti

#

for the same bracket

#

aka 4k 60 2023 games vs 1440p60 2015 games
or 1440p60 2023 games vs 1080p60 2015 games

#

and this is with craaaaaaanked settings

#

if you want to drive your 4k120hz tv at that on average, its gonna cost you significantly
but there simply was not that level of performance in existence 5 years ago

#

was this in games of the time or current games

#

i think its more interesting to talk about games around the launch of the cards

#

it levels off the graph a ton, but you are still getting double the fps vs what you previously had in that very same year's games

#

in 2023 games ofc the 1080ti gets reamed

#

i mean who would have thought

#

lowest end 2023 gpu wins in 2022 games vs highest end 2016 gpu

#

๐Ÿ˜ฑ

#

but the 4070 still is faster at 2022 games than the 1080ti was at 2015 games

#

yea exactly
nvidia doesnt even have a gpu this gen that is at the same performance tier as the 1080ti is now

#

Got a fun new toy!

#

Another problem is I can't show what it looks like with text since all it does is screen mirroring
So if I open the camera app you can't see the text

#

Oh wait NVM I'm on android

#

Windows!

astral haven
#

so it turns out it isnt very good as a second monitor for a desktop

#

and if i thought i couldnt handle 120hz?

Does EVGA do anything at all these days? Feels like they've pulled out harder than a mormon on prom.

#

... or something.

fair gull
#

PSUs

#

idk if they still do mice and keyboards

#

pretty sure they also did cases and motherboards

#

idk if it was a capture device or audio interface but they had a brick with a knob on it as well

raw zephyr
#

why are PSUs so expensive

ashen spindle
#

surely the OC team was part of the people that resigned?

#

ah it got an update lol

raw zephyr
#

looking to build a nas/home server, anyone has experience with truenas scale? should i use it like a "hypervisor" or should i run it under proxmox

ashen spindle
#

Update 07:45 UTC: We've heard from workers at EVGA Spain "it's just another day at the office". So maybe it was only Kingpin/the OC team in TW that has resigned, or the whole story is completely untrue.

raw zephyr
fair gull
#

use truenas core

#

thats way easier to setup for a singular storage server

#

also freebsd is also linux

#

well

#

unix

#

all the same anyway

#

but ideally youd use something like unraid and then just run a containerized truenas core from there

#

that way you can always spin up another normal linux container on the same server and have both running at the same time with easy management

#

if you want free alternatives to unraid id recommend proxmox

raw zephyr
#

@fair gull my idea was to run truenas scale with a linux vm that runs all my containers - traefik, portainer and bunch of services and optionally expose some of them with cloudflare tunnel

fair gull
#

id invert it tbh and not use truenas scale

#

when i tried it i had a bunch of difficulty setting it up to run containers

#

my final setup ended up being proxmox with tons of containers directly in there to remove vm overhead and then run truenas in a container as well

raw zephyr
fair gull
#

ye but then you got overhead of running the vm

raw zephyr
#

i dunno, there really seems no "best" solution for this

fair gull
#

well the best solution is to not use VMs unless absolutely necessary

#

ideally youd run everything in LXC and if thats not possible docker

#

and only if both are not possible youd resort to a vm

raw zephyr
#
#

that's basically the setup i wanted to go for originally

fair gull
#

as mentioned i personally dont like the overhead of an entire vm

raw zephyr
#

there really doesn't seem to be a consensus

#

thanks for the input tho

fair gull
#

ask 10 people and get probably 8 different answers

raw zephyr
#

i will see how it turns out, i don't even have the hardware at my hands yet + the hardware is not gonna be that beefy since i was going for maximum efficiency

fair gull
#

if you go for maximum efficiency then id even more not use VMs

#

as in fully fledged kvm vms with an entire linux or freebsd or smth running

raw zephyr
old marlin
#

yea for efficiency VMs are definetley kinda shit

#

versatility is great ofc

fair gull
#

id only rely on LXC and docker tbh

raw zephyr
#

have you tried Unraid? it's an alternative to TrueNAS

#

proprietary os on linux kernel

reef patrol
#

It is not a direct alternative as much as a much more corporate and definitely not free alternative. ๐Ÿ˜„

lament sapphire
#

Should I get the Viewsonic xg2431 when Iโ€™m using a 3070

reef patrol
#

Depends on the games you play I suppose. Can you consistently get 240fps or so in those games?
Do you care more about hz than resolution?

lament sapphire
#

I will play Fortnite and cs go and More fps games

fair gull
#

cause unraid expensivo

#

as mentioned my setup ended up being proxmox as the main os and then just tons of containers on it

#

including a truenas core container

lament sapphire
#

Or should I get the Asus TUF Gaming VG259QM 24.5

wheat plume
#

Overkill for Fortnite

ashen spindle
#

how would any monitor be overkill for fortnite?

reef patrol
wheat plume
#

Oh that is a monitor

ashen spindle
#

what did you think it was lol

cursive summit
#

Lana works in some of the most mysterious ways in the universe

wheat plume
#

Thought it was laptop

cursive summit
#

Honestly fair enough

ashen spindle
#

how would a laptop be overkill though

cursive summit
#

But 24.5" laptop, really?

wheat plume
#

Yeah xd I didn't read the entire name after the letter spam

cursive summit
#

Tbf TUF laptops typically are really budget

#

So it's not overkill in any means

#

Although I have questions why are you willing to spend what I'm seeing is 450$ for a 1080p display

wheat plume
#

Yeah
Overkill

cursive summit
#

Lana you need to learn what overkill means

wheat plume
#

Get 1440 or 4k

#

Overpriced* xd

cursive summit
#

It's just a weird purchase, overspending

ashen spindle
#

high refresh rate probably

wheat plume
#

Is it OLED?

cursive summit
#

Why not get M27Q X?

wheat plume
#

HDR?

cursive summit
ashen spindle
#

as if you get hdr oled for that cheap lol

cursive summit
#

Which is none

wheat plume
#

Lol

cursive summit
#

Why not get the Jiggybyte M27Q X?

#

It's a really damn good display in same price range as the viewsonic

#

Except it's just better

Google Play changed it's accent color .. interesting

This is good change

cursive summit

Tf are they doing now

#

I was wondering why a few subreddits I was in started posting porn all of a sudden

reef patrol
cursive summit
#

This whole Apollo drama is tiring

#

On one hand Reddit's fine to monetize the API

#

But wtf is this with the borderline autocratic "I tell you how to live your life" posts from Reddit staff

old marlin
#

it's not just apollo

wheat plume
#

And the stupid high API fees

old marlin
#

the problem is not even them trying to monetize the api

wheat plume
#

Apollo said it would cost like 3 million to keep the app running per year with the cost Reddit want to charge

cursive summit
#

Reddit isn't fully monetizing the API either

old marlin
#

the price they are asking for is just ridiculous

#

and absolute bs

cursive summit
#

They are still keeping the free tiers

#

But yes the paid tiers cost way too much

#

But it makes sense cause most bot devs will just use the free tier

fair gull
#

the free tier is unuseable for any bigger distributed app

cursive summit
#

Client makers will be forced to use the paid tier, which I guess is what exactly what Reddit wants

#

You want to compete with your own app and use our API? Pay up

fair gull
#

compete with what

#

the pile of shit reddit calls their app?

cursive summit
#

Reddit's own app

#

Apollo had a subscription thing

old marlin
cursive summit
#

So they are competing for profits

old marlin
#

and no client ever will

cursive summit
#

Any person that doesn't use reddit's native client and goes to use Apollo's to view reddit content and pays a subscription fee to Apollo is just lost profits

old marlin
#

since the api fee was calculated on every apollo user coughing up like 2,50 or something

fair gull
#

the issue is reddit is overcharging, basically, the people who create the value in reddit to begin with

cursive summit
#

I can't argue at all with that yeah, Reddit is very much overcharging

#

But it's clear to see why

old marlin
wheat plume
#

I tried the official app before
It's total garbage

cursive summit
old marlin
#

like give the option for people to make a personal api key that they can use in whatever app they want

fair gull
#

reddit is only useable via the website or third party clients

#

their own app is literally trash

cursive summit
#

Idk I've been using the official app for years and it's fine

#

I've never even heard of apollo before this drama

old marlin
#

etc

#

it even is on the website

fair gull
#

all that will happen over time is reddit being a ghost town

#

and people just go back to forums

cursive summit
#

Forums are unpopular

#

Also most users prolly can't even name a single forum

#

Mainstream social media is far more appealing than forums

#

Reddit isn't dying anytime soon, if ever

fair gull
#

until said media is devoid of good content

#

and forums are far from unpopular

#

especially in the tech space

#

hacking forums, ltt forums, cheating forums, game related forums

#

are all well and alive

cursive summit
#

Most users would never use those

#

Reddit's basically for normies anyways

fair gull
#

but yes reddit might actually die if they continue to think and act as if reddit generates the value in the website

#

when in reality reddit doesnt generate any value.

#

any social media platform is only as valueable as its userbase

#

and reddit doesnt understand that apparently

#

or well the ceo doesnt

wheat plume
#

^

raw zephyr
#

i mean twitter has also done some stupid mistakes and yet the platform itself is thriving

cursive summit
raw zephyr
#

same thing will happen to reddit

cursive summit
#

The value is that it's a community place where people of all kinds gather to spread their knowledge and whatever

#

You run into sunken cost fallacy when you have this outrage rn

raw zephyr
#

the vocal part of the community is marginal in the big view

cursive summit
#

People leave, and come back after a week

#

When you incorporate Reddit into your lifestyle, what are you going to replace it with?

#

Twitter's dying, Facebook is useless

fair gull
#

the next reddit

reef patrol
#

A forum. havo

crimson wigeon
#

I dumped leddit, no way I'm using that official shit app

cursive summit
#

Reddit has no real competition rn

fair gull
#

reddit is just a forum

#

with a different presentation

old marlin
#

forums

wheat plume
fair gull
#

its like saying youtube has no competition when they actually do

#

theres tons of video platforms

cursive summit
#

YouTube has plenty of competition nowadays, just none as popular

crimson wigeon
#

Yes it probably won't die, 99% of the users use new leddit and official app because they don't know better, but they say the 1% that doesn't use those things are the power users, mods, content creators, without them leddit is dead, or so they say

fair gull
#

the same goes for reddit

wheat plume
#

YouTube has the best video player though
Clean and functional

Others have a crappy video player UI with less features and slower loading times

cursive summit
#

The streaming platform wars are rn what's the hot topic

fair gull
#

reddit has tons of competitors

cursive summit
#

There are at least 4 main streaming websites that are fighting for the crown

wheat plume
#

I have not seen that one

cursive summit
#

YouTube is still the king but that might change in 10 years

wheat plume
#

I think idk

cursive summit
#

If only bilibili wasn't chinese havo

niconico douga also has a nice player

the fact just is: reddit is dying and has compeition. vex just cause you only use reddit and personally dont want to use forums doesnt mean they dont exist or are dead

#

Speaking of dying platforms. I'm still waiting to see where the cards land for Twitter. You've got bluesky.social, there's mastodon? there's hive and now Threads (which isn't even globally available)

cursive summit
#

Threads will definitely take over

#

From one supercorp to another

wheat plume
fair gull
#

oh so twitter can die but reddit cant?

reef patrol
#

Only if they get their GDPR shit sorted out.

wheat plume
#

But maybe hell for moderation

cursive summit

Considering how garbage the instagram experience is on big computors I got no hope for Threads

reef patrol
wheat plume
#

I don't even use the official Instagram app....

cursive summit
#

Where will users migrate?

wheat plume
#

Use a patched version

cursive summit
#

Most users just visit shit like r/animalpics r/videos r/pics r/funny and other generic shit

#

What forum will replace that? None

#

Reddit will only die when a comparative service becomes available and gets marketed to hell while Reddit screws up

reef patrol
cursive summit
#

Hence Twitter being on its wobbly legs

cursive summit
reef patrol
#

Uh huh. Closing your eyes when ones are mentioned will do that ๐Ÿ˜„

fair gull
#

nono those forums i mentioned are way too specialized

cursive summit
#

Cause they are?

#

I will definitely move to LTTforums for my cat pics

wheat plume
#

Why does YouTube automatically play a random YT Short when you open the app now?? .-.

#

It's the worst

fair gull
#

thats like saying you cant use r/funny as an example cause that subreddit is way too specialized

#

so who posts on reddit directly

#

or do they post on subreddits

#

which are specialized

#

almost like a forum

#

hmm.....

#

its almost like reddit is just 1 big forum

cursive summit
#

What competition is there for that?

#

Discord can do that, maybe

#

Again I am yet to see a single service for people to migrate to for Reddit to ever become irrelevant and die

wheat plume
#

Yeah but it shouldn't happen
None of the shorts it plays are shit I'm interested in

crimson wigeon

Snapchat needs access to microphone just to take a photo
WHY????

crimson wigeon
#

Because they want to harvest all possible data

cursive summit
#

Isn't snap also a video platform?

wheat plume
#

Yeah
But taking a photo is default when you open the camera screen

cursive summit
#

Isn't single click = photo, hold = video?

#

The app just needs permissions in case you do take a video

#

If you cancel it might kick you out, or it might not

wheat plume
#

So uh....

#

I don't allow Snapchat to access my contact list

#

Yet it's suggesting I add a friend based on them being in my contact list

#

Why TF

#

Does it know she's in my contacts??

#

It shouldn't

#

Contact perms are off

cursive summit
#

Pretty sure the app can't just bypass android permissions if it wants to

crimson wigeon
#

If other people share their contacts with snap it probably cross references that

wheat plume
#

It shouldn't be able to see what numbers are on my phone

#

Instagram does the same :/

But that's Facebook
I'm sure they bypass any permissions they can

But it launched in the uk?

pale sigil
#

No

#

Only a few

wheat plume
#

ooh

ashen spindle
#

Uk got Threads because itโ€™s not part of eu regulation anymore

#

Because itโ€™s not an existing law that prevents it like that comment thinks but because meta is being preemptively careful since they did not get explicit guidelines for privacy rules

#

Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s launched in the uk because they donโ€™t expect the uk to make privacy concerns like the eu lol

wheat plume
#

wait wait, your Threads profile permanently shows what number you are???

#

SO if you sign up and make your accoutn and you are the 12 millionth person, it will always show that in your profile... interesting

and the us has 1.2 guns per person on average

#

So, I guess it's more of a question to @astral haven unless we have some other network engineer people

#

I have an app that keeps throwing bad SSL requests, devs said to check if TLS 1.2 is enabled

#

Is that supposed to not to exist, and I'm supposed to make the folder myself

#

Or is that just wrong on my end of Windows

astral haven
#

ssl is application level, its not really generally a network engineering thing
what sort of app is this, and what is it using as a back end for the ssl?

cursive summit
#

Fuck do I know, it's Vortex

fair gull
#

oh god

#

these schannel keys dont exist usually (had to create them once as well)

#

not for vortex though

#

although in my case it also didnt fix it

cursive summit
#

So it should use TLS 1.2

fair gull
#

yes

#

whats the error u get anyway

astral haven
#

god i hope they arent using IE as a backend

fair gull
#

many things just use ie settings

cursive summit
#

I don't think it's my AV blocking it, I already disabled the AV's web traffic protection

thick elk
#

Got to love youtube sugestions, a 5 year old video about the vega release from ltt

cursive summit
#

Good for mining

astral haven
#

if its someone else hosting it, its on them to fix

cursive summit
#

It literally doesn't react to anything I do to it

astral haven
#

and you shouldnt use it until they get it fixed

fair gull
#

because whatever u access uses selfsigned certs

cursive summit
#

Logins not responding, trying to get it to react to API isn't responding either

fair gull
#

if you ignore that error anyone could just pretend to be the server

#

anyone can sign their own certs

astral haven
#

^

cursive summit
#

"Encountered an invalid SSL certificate. If this happens on a network connection to a server that has a proper certificate (like the Nexus Mods API) it may indicate a significant security issue in your system."

#

Yeah but how on earth do I fix that dogekek

fair gull
astral haven
fair gull
#

they literally say in this post they dont use self signed certs

cursive summit
fair gull
#

yes cause u cant fucking fix it

#

this is to pretect you as the end user

astral haven
#

heck it could be someone hijacked something of theirs and is now stealing all the data they can

fair gull
#

and as they said this means the chain has been intruded by another cert that shouldnt be there

#

check your av if you have one

#

maybe it just does some funky ssl spying shit

cursive summit
#

As I said, I disabled the web antivirus

#

It's kaspersky so it loves to fuck with internet traffic, but I disabled the web AV component

#

So it should be not functioning

fair gull
#

my man kaspersky has a separate ssl traffic thing

#

disable that

#

not the dumb web av

cursive summit
#

What do you even mean

fair gull
#

kaspersky literally uses its own certs

#

i had so many issues with its dumb certificates

astral haven
#

i like how the response to running into a security error is to disable the antivirus
definetly the best way to keep yourself safe from whatever caused the security error lol

cursive summit
#

I don't even have such settings

fair gull
#

crap wrong kaspersky version

cursive summit
#

There are these

#

But nothing else on SSL or TLS

fair gull
#

Settings > Additional > Network > Do not scan encrypted connections

#

that should be it

cursive summit
#

Wouldn't I want it to scan encrypted connections? dogekek

fair gull
#

it installs its own root cert

#

and it often causes errors due to invalidity

cursive summit
#

Wait I just saw that setting a minute ago

#

But it's not under Additional

#

It's just under Network Settings

fair gull
#

ah then they must have moved it

#

try disabling and a reboot

astral haven
cursive summit
#

But is that a good or a bad thing

#

Like, this keeps me safe even if it brings pain from time to time dogekek

fair gull
#

well yesnt

astral haven
#

define safe

fair gull
#

it should be able to keep you safe before and after an ssl connection

cursive summit
#

Well I'll be damned it works now

#

Just to be clear

#

What's a root cert

astral haven
#

its the thing that the internet uses to verify a website is what it says it is

#

there are something like 10 trusted ones that the internet uses as a base

cursive summit
#

Again isn't that technically a good thing though, if you trust the software to do its thing

astral haven
#

if you are working in an enterprise, the enterprise will install one so that their hardware can intercept all of your traffic and inspect it

cursive summit
#

I would assume most protections would want you to get a root cert?

astral haven
#

but that means it can see every single bit of data transferred

cursive summit
#

Isn't that the risk all cybersecurity providers take by offering their high-end services?

#

Or is this a rare occurence

fair gull
astral haven
fair gull
#

ye

#

pretty sure kasperksy has such extension as well

#

most people dont install it

cursive summit
#

There is one, yes

astral haven
#

using the extension is alot safer than the root cert

fair gull
#

ye

cursive summit
#

Wouldn't the root cert thingy be useful in mitigating some zero days?

fair gull
#

literally back in my old job the first thing when i saw kaspersky was disable the ssl shit cause it always caused some kind of issue

fair gull
#

zero days dont happen over ssl

#

not to mention how would kaspersky know its a zero day

cursive summit
#

Yeah I'm way out of my technical knowledge lane with how networking and interconnections work

fair gull
#

last time i can find news of a ca breach was in 2011 and it was a chinese state group that did the hack

cursive summit
#

Not sure why Kaspersky is so intrusive though, I guess it's considered secure this way?

astral haven
#

alot of shady services do that

#

vpn providers often do it

cursive summit
#

Would you really call a recognised AV provider shady? havo

ashen spindle
#

you think in the current situation kaspersky is not shady?

#

even if we assume all the people working there are fine it's like china, is not like they might have totaly control

cursive summit
#

Ehh, I would want to put away regional affiliations and consider them as non-biased

#

Especially since they moved their servers and such to Switzerland I think

astral haven
#

you hope ๐Ÿคท

cursive summit
#

Look as far as consumer AVs go, Kaspersky seems to be the go-to

#

Strongest one according to tests done in terms of malware protection

#

So that's the one I've gone with

ashen spindle
#

you could personally know all of the people working on it I would still not trust it

#

just like with china I dont have issues because they are chinese but because of government influence

cursive summit
#

If there's a better option that is just as capable, I'd be all ears to changes

ashen spindle
#

idk I just use defender

astral haven
#

windows defender in online mode and when using edge is significantly more powerful

cursive summit
#

I don't use edge and I will never do so, so I guess defender is meh

#

Wth is Defender online

#

All results are for offline

astral haven
#

its the one that doesnt use cloud and only gets updated every week or so

cursive summit
#

Wouldn't online be the one that does use cloud?

#

Cause, you know, cloud = online?

astral haven
#

oh you were asking what defender online is

#

its the one that works well

cursive summit
#

Yeah but where is it

#

Neither ๐Ÿ…ฑ๏ธing nor Google show any results for "Defender online"

astral haven
#

this is something else but also exists

cursive summit
#

I just found that

#

And I was going to ask if that's it

#

Again based on testing, Kaspersky is ahead in terms of malware protection

#

Is there anything that isn't Russian that is as good as Kaspersky? dogekek

#

Bitdefender? Eset?

astral haven
#

pc security channel testing isnt particularly helpful since it bypasses smartscreen which is basically all of the online part of defender

cursive summit
#

It was indeed the PC security channel, which Carmonben, you yesterday linked yourself

#

Would have been this

astral haven
#

yep
just because i agree with his methodology for this one test doesnt mean i agree with everything he says

cursive summit
#

Again I do understand why the AV testing would be considered as not particularly conclusive

#

Considering that the malwares are already known and all

astral haven
#

kaspersky is probably the best cleanup tool once you are infected maybe?

cursive summit
#

Isn't smartscreen that annoying popup that just asks you if you want to run the app?

astral haven
#

thats the part of smartscreen that you see usually

cursive summit
#

That isn't very protective of it

#

Usually you just run it anyways cause scan returned nothing

astral haven
#

if you actually get a virus with smartscreen enabled it will show this screen instead

#

and there is no option to run the program

cursive summit
#

I have actually had that one

#

And it was a false positive

cursive summit
astral haven
#

different error

cursive summit
#

Defender though is very aggressive with flagging anything though

astral haven
astral haven
#

now they should have the actual detection show up as a different error entirely like they do for websites and links that are known bad

#

and sometimes they just make the program vanish if its flagged as dangerous enough

#

i havent really heard anything about cylance
is it on the level of the big edr tools like crowdstrike, sentinelone, and carbon black?

cursive summit
#

Isn't this borderline technically impossible rn?

astral haven
#

intel had it running 12 years ago

thick elk
# ashen spindle yeah fanboys sadly ruin any way to have constructive feedback

Personally, I find it perfectly acceptable that AMD doesn't allow or at least doesn't allow DLSS / Nvidia marketing on Games they did co-branding/consulting on.

Of course strictly speaking it's directly negative for the Consumer, but I do think it is warranted.

DLSS is a vendor locked tech after all, that is closed source and is protected against creating a translation layer to run it on non Nvidia hardware.
Another thing is I can see it being a thing from a marketing perspective: we promote open standards, also a game we market looks best with a vendor locked tech from our competitor.
Just seems pretty much an understandable choice.

The real solution is to improve FSR2 to the point DLSS becomes obsolete which would fix sadly easier said than done.

ashen spindle
#

the fact is though they are not limiting it at all

#

neither the part of marketing it nor including it

thick elk
#

That could definitely be true, just saying it would be acceptable if they did exclude it

astral haven
#

well thats just like saying intel didnt limit the sale of amd cpus in the mid 00's

thick elk
#

Realistically they would just block nvidia marketing and devs being to lazy (budget constrained)/ ignorant to try and negotiate / implement DLSS themselves.

#

That seems plausible considering the state of half those pc ports

ashen spindle
#

they obviously only help them out including fsr, no comment about "hey if you also add dlss addd that line here to make it easier"

#

most reasons are time constraints for big titles

#

why add another upscaler if you can put the dev to work on fixing something else for launch

#

etc.

astral haven
#

because nvidia makes it easy to add all 3 at once?

thick elk
#

Either way, I really hope AMD pulls some rabbit out of their head to have good improvements on FSR

#

Nvidia allows adding all 3 because they know theirs is best, of course. Noone who can run DLSS is going to run FSR 2 I hope

ashen spindle
astral haven
thick elk
#

Also it's distributed under Nvidia's control and I don't know if the FSR implementation is optimal, it does require some tuning for each of these.

ashen spindle
#

either way the whole thing is just annoying because journalists go for clickbaits instead of doing research

#

and because AMD PR shows incompetence again as well

#

should have had a better answer gone through legal faster so you can respond better

thick elk
#

Definitely AMD needs to reorganize it's PR

astral haven
thick elk
#

They really require a good corporate person with a strong position and constraint to fix that marketing mess

ashen spindle
#

there is a difference between sniffing something out/having sources etc. or having it all based on wccft which is a site where you are forced to make 1-2 articles a day regardless of what happens in the world

#

low quality site going for clickbaits is not the same as someone trying to dig something up that might be the case

astral haven
#

the exact same general sentiment was felt in 2004 or 5 or whenever it was

#

and while its fair to feel that way, its simply not useful

thick elk
#

I want to add here that what's often missed is that those sponsored titles are not just marketing, AMD / Nvidia definitely do technical consulting / helping here.
Asking something more than a logo in return seems fair in that regard.
As for Intel / Nvidia doing the same, in those cases they were never pushing a moderately worse open standard over also including a closed but better performing standard by the competitor.

#

I don't think Nvidia would have gotten flack if they blocked a dev from having a mantle implementation pre dx12/vulkan

ashen spindle
#

I will gladly entertain the idea that either of the big companies is engaging in bad behaviour any day, not if the sources is wccftrash lol

astral haven
#

so make arguments that include that rather than attacking the character of the reporters

ashen spindle
#

they have a massive track record of bogus articles with false information and all

astral haven
#

hwub doesnt

#

and their coverage of the matter was very obviously purely factual

thick elk
#

Their coverage was largely a opinion piece based on a history of games not including DLSS and a lack of comment by AMD.

ashen spindle
#

yes but this all stemmed from when wcc posted it first and since then there was no further indicator for it, aside from some amd games not having it and some lacking comparisons of what sponsors titles have it/dont have it while ignoring factors like console release etc.

astral haven
#

console releases cant have dlss yet?

ashen spindle
#

it means extra work on a port when we currently are saying most console ports have other issues already

astral haven
#

and if there were a significant number of sponsored titles that did have it, then sure that would be less and less interesting

thick elk
#

I feel like a big contributing factor seems to be at least to me that AMD's marketing department really seems to have very little access to the rest of the company.
Which seems to be at the source of a lot of blunders on their front. But that seems to be my speculation.

astral haven
#

if you swap the names nvidia and amd and the respective tech and your opinion on the matter changes, then you need to rethink your position

thick elk
#

One does not exclude the other, AMD's marketing department is known to bo blunder.
Just saying even if it's intentional blocking it would be acceptable to me.

#

Just remember you are talking to a linux user who sticks to custom roms on android, I am pretty sure I have some bias towards open standards.

astral haven
#

yep and im not arguing that what amd is currently doing is definetly bad
im just arguing that what it looks like amd is doing is most certainly extremely evil and you should heavily reconsider your ethics for thinking that its ok

thick elk
#

I will take a fight against vendor locked standards anytime given the chance

#

If DLSS was open source I would not defend AMD just because it can't perform on cards without the AI cores Nvidia has or with less of them.

#

But DLSS is closed off.

astral haven
#

for the moment these standards are vendor locked however because companies like imagination and qualcomm cannot run dp4a or whatever

#

its ok as long as the standards are locked off to more than 1 huge corporation?
yea right lmao

thick elk
#

I don't mind if it doesn't perform on all vendor's just like I don't mind it if games have heavy RT implementations. However I do not like closed vendor locked implementations, that make switching cards harder based on historical choices.

ashen spindle
#

regardless of the argument if it would be ok or not, I trust a random amd engineer more than a random article with questionable comprehension skills

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

I know I'm not saying this is pure fact or the lead of anything

astral haven
#

quake 2 rtx
oh wait lmao

ashen spindle
#

I still trust that more than some random hunch that lacks imo any actual grounds to believe it more than cautiously considering it

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

I think assuming amd does this is very unhealthy skepticism lol

#

based on the small tidbits on information

astral haven
#

but again
if your position changes after swapping the names around and considering what would happen (and i mean seriously considering it)
then your position is wrong

ashen spindle
#

oh I am not arguing for it to be ok

#

I am saying that's not the case

astral haven
#

yep which is why im arguing with qlum who thinks it is

ashen spindle
#

that's why I prefaced the image with me not arguing that part ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I just took a bit to find that image again

thick elk
#

If swapping names around I would still say it's okay.

#

if swapping the closed and the open standard around I would say it's not.

astral haven
#

ah so you are just blindly rubberstamping anything that says open source on the tin

#

great

#

thats how we got where we are today with rocm

thick elk
#

Open standard, not open source, if it's closed source but could reasonably be shimmed to work on other vendors it would be fine too, even if fundamentally one vendor's hardware is better suited for it.

astral haven
#

heres an unpopular opinion
just because you can see the source code doesnt mean its open

#

and especially you shouldnt believe companies when they say they are supporting open source

thick elk
#

I never said anything about the source code, rather can it be run on other vendor's hardware providing they have the capabilities.

astral haven
#

whos to say dlss cant?

#

amd is a solid 4 + generations behind nvidia in terms of their ai processing power, and their support for ML is worse than even that of qualcomm...

#

whos to say that amd couldnt make it work

thick elk
#

I have seen no evidence that it can, Nvidia has had a track record that shows little evidence that it can. Also Intel Exists and as far as I know they are further ahead on that regard

astral haven
#

amd made directx work on their hardware

thick elk
#

Of course DirectX specification is open, any vendor can make hardware that speaks DirectX

#

Or at least available

astral haven
#

that was not true when the xbox released

#

microsoft "opened" up to put the screws to nvidia

#

Now to be fair they did it a heck of a lot faster than Nvidia has done for dlss so far

#

But nvidia has opened up physx even though physx has actually no competition whatsoever and is incredibly vital to the robotics space

#

Tldr amd probably not doing anything problematic
But do not for an instant pretend it is ok if they do, that is how we ended up with 15 years of intel

thick elk
#

15 years of intel had very different reasons as for physx not really relevant as it aggressively locked out amd during its prime even refusing to run if your main gpu was amd while using a dedicated physx gpu on the side.
Sure it's open source now and at this point I would say it is indefensable it amd blocked the inclusion of physx in sponsored titles.

#

I would also say that if amd were to prevent studio's from using heavier forms of ray-tracing on sponsored titles, it would also be indefensible.

#

The last part is actually as plausible as blocking DLSS, maybe even more so.

astral haven
#

15 years of intel was because intel was the open option, then once everyone migrated over and they stopped being the underdog, they pulled out the lawyers

#

and it took 10 years for the legal wounds to heal enough for anyone else to start making a comeback

#

and physx currently has a complete monopoly for machine training real world robots in the industry

#

the gaming physx was meh but it worked on every vendor of cpu, and it was only locked to cuda...

#

only nvidia advantage was that they ran cuda on the gpu

@prisma crag started watching Succession recently and wow

#

middle of S2 atm, crazy how they can make you feel sorry for billionaires

#

@zealous cloak why are you mass deleting messages

#

i thought some nuke happened in the logs but its just deleted messages of you

#

its all in the log lol

coarse cloak
fair gull
#

who knows what bots scrape this server for messages

#

uh ok gl thinking that

#

oh now were to general as well

#

good to see its not just techtalk

analog sinew
#

he's behind 7 proxies

#

you can autohotkey it

fair gull
#

no but bots can repost it with all user info

#

and any user can log it as well

#

since all discord clients in a guild are informed about the message deletion

#

i wish discord would offically log it like they log messages deleted by someone whos not the author

cursive summit
#

You can with a script, actually

#

But that's technically against ToS but god knows if they actually care

#

And a bot doesn't?

#

I guess it's a bit different if a bot and a user just spams the API

coarse cloak
#

yes, ban feature includes that, and any bot can do it too

cursive summit
#

You can't ban yourself you know

#

Actually, maybe you can

#

Say something naughty and the automod might ban you ๐Ÿ™ˆ

#

I would suggest against that

#

Or 5 mins with chatgpt and such

#

What's driving?

#

Thanks dad

#

Or uncle

#

That script looks fine ngl

#

Although not sure why the client login is at the very end

#

Now that I'm reading a bit into the code, it doesn't necessarily make much sense

#

Yeah it assumes that const channel somehow has an array of things

#

Which it shouldn't?

#

Although it's calling channels.cache, maybe that actually returns a full list of messages?

#

Need to test it to see if it actually does anything

#

I know not a shred of JS

fair gull
#

the fact that discordjs and pretty many other libs dont support user tokens for login

#

as its against tos

coarse cloak
#

^

#

you need to use a modified library now

fair gull
#

mainly stems from userbots being annoying and not really liked or even tolerated much in the discord dev community

coarse cloak
#

yeah

#

you'd only get your account banned if you used it in a server with someone that hates selfbots or is friends with someone that works @ discord

#

or someone that works @ discord saw it

cursive summit
#

What the fuck

#

What's this written in, JS?

coarse cloak
#

py

#

looks like it would work

#

yes that would most likely work if you can run selfbot using the library

#

wait selfbots cant use .purge lol
or can they now ๐Ÿค”

fair gull
#

wouldnt work

#

also love how it tells you to put your bots token there

coarse cloak
#

LOL

fair gull
#

youd almost instantly get banned i imagine

coarse cloak
#

need to go the old loop messages and delete if author matches way for selfbots..

home know about cars

#

Me battery drained

#

It's slowly going up

#

So I just wait right?

#

This won't seem to kick into charge mode under 12v or some shit

fair gull
#

get an extension chord

#

strip wire

#

connect to battery

#

profit

pale sigil
#

Ye so this isn't working

#

And worse all the doors are unlocked

#

And we can't lock them again

#

Only the drivers....

#

No

Time to grab some blankets and sleep in the car with doggo.

pale sigil
#

I think we can

#

But my mum is annoying paranoid

pale sigil
#

As managed to locked her doors

#

We got it to 7v which seems to be the needed voltage for it
